THUG LOVE OR NO LOVE: An urban story

Chapter 1:

LaShay's POV:

I hopped out of bed happy as ever. I'm finally a sophomore, I'll be out of school in no time. I got out of the bed and started getting dressed. I got out of the shower and lotioned up my body putting on my under clothes after wards. I went into my closet picking out a black tube top that stopped a little above my belly button piecing and a pair of high waisted dark blue acid washed shorts. I decided to wear some silver sandals so I painted my toes white quickly which left me with very little time to do much else. Thank God I did my hair last night, I took out my two pigtails styling my loosely waved hair adding a little gel to keep my edges down. I was about to put on my eyeliner when somebody rang my doorbell.

I walked downstairs and opened the door seeing Malik standing there. I ran into his arms before he even got any words out.

"OMG Lik (pronounced Leak) I missed you." I let go of him and looked around "

"Where Ti'Onna?"

"Damn Ma" he said while walking into the house "You couldn't have missed me that much if you lookin for Ti'Onna already" he laughed "Marcus picked her up this morning"

I walked into the house and went upstairs with him following me. I know you guys thinking, she probly saw him yesterday. But I haven't seen him or Ti'Onna in a week, they were visiting their grandparents in some unknown town in Ohio. As Malik sat on my bed I went over to my makeup vanity and sat down, as I started putting on makeup Malik was watching me through the mirror.

"You to pretty for that shit Shay, I don't know why you wear it." Malik said still watching me

I rolled my eyes "Were not having this conversation again Malik" I said as I put on my eyeliner giving myself a little tail at the corner of my eye.

"I'm just saying...I guess your lil boyfriend ain't never told you that" Malik said looking away from the mirror

I just looked at him for a while."Ok Malik.."

"And you better not be giving nothing up to him." Malik attempted to whisper but I heard him

Yeah guys Malik doesn't like my boyfriend Hakeem. He says he's "a little boy" and "throws money around". Me and Hakeem have been going out for 5 and a half months. It's almost our 6 month anniversary and he's been hinting to me to have sex with him but I don't know if I'm ready yet. He tells me he loves me and he treats me right but honestly I don't love him, I just like him alot. Malik never liked him but he can't control who I go out with even though he is my bestfriend. It's not like I say anything about his hoe of a girlfriend, Bianca.

As I finished my eyeliner I put on some clear lipgloss and grabbed my Victoria Secret messenger bag walking downstairs. Malik came seconds later and we walked out the door and hopped in his car.

Malik's POV

I know y'all thinking Malik acting like an asshole but that's not even how it is. I'm just trynna keep her safe and have her back. And Hakeem he got a little boy mentality and I'm not saying that because I'm 2 years older than him, I'm saying it because he flashes around his money and cars and just a bunch of things he buys like he didn't use street money to get it.You see the difference between me and him is he a little boy and I'm a grown ass man, he should take some notes.Honestly I love LaShay with all my heart and she's the one that I want to spend the rest if my life with. It's only a matter of time before I get what's mine.
